We’re looking for an experienced CAD / CNC specialist to work with us on developing accurate cutting patterns for tube slide sections that will be machined on our Mantech CNC flatbed router (specs and machine info attached).
This is not a one-off file handover – we’re looking for someone who can work collaboratively with our in-house team via Doncaster, helping us build confidence that our machinery, setup, and workflow are optimised and production-ready. The first project may involve hands on work in Doncaster.
The Project
We design and manufacture tube slide components that are formed from CNC-cut patterns, primarily using MDF, model board or polystyrene. These parts are then assembled into smooth, continuous slide sections, so accuracy, fit, and repeatability are critical.
You’ll help us: - Convert 3D geometry into flattened, CNC-ready cutting patterns - Optimise layouts for material efficiency and clean assembly - Ensure compatibility with our Mantech CNC machine and tooling - Validate tolerances, joints, and seam alignment for real-world fabrication
What We’re Looking For - Strong experience in CAD to CNC workflows (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Rhino, or similar) - Proven understanding of flattening curved or cylindrical geometry into manufacturable patterns - Hands-on knowledge of CNC routing for MDF / model board / sheet materials - Comfortable collaborating via Doncaster or similar technical review platforms - Able to advise on feeds, tooling strategy, and machining best practices
What Success Looks Like - Clean, reliable pattern files that cut accurately on our machine - Clear documentation and guidance for our operators - Confidence that our internal team can repeat and scale production independently
Nice to Have - Experience with composites, laminated assemblies, or formed sheet structures - Background in play equipment, slides, architectural fabrication, or complex curved assemblies
How to Apply Please share: - Examples of similar CAD/CNC pattern or flattening work - Your preferred CAD/CAM software - A brief overview of how you typically collaborate with production teams
This is an opportunity to become a long-term technical partner, not just a freelancer on a single task.
